Experience the magic of Puglia with this superb Luca Maroni 98/100 rated luxurious Red crafted in the Appassimento method from hand harvested old bush vine Primitivo and Negroamaro grapes. Appassimento is an ancient method of an extended (25-days post ripening) drying of the grapes on the vine, traditionally used for Amarone, intensifying and concentrating the flavours. Over those additional 25 post ripening days, the grapes develop rich, concentrated sugars, resulting in a luscious, luxurious wine bursting with ripe black fruits, subtle spices, vanilla, and hints of raisins. Aging in traditional cement fermenters (this complex, luxurious, powerful red does not need oak), delivers a smooth, luxurious and texturally rich palate. Perfect for those who appreciate depth and complexity in every sip. Indulge in De Conti Appassimento 100X100 Rosso Puglia and savour the essence of old bush vine fruit and centuries-old winemaking tradition at a remarkably ancient price.

Heavenly, seductive bouquet of sun-baked black fruits, figs, prunes, blackberries, blueberries with a perfumed lift of wild raspberries, violets and a backbone of sandalwood and spice.

Exuberant, luxuriously flavoured fruit ignites the senses with such generosity and charm that it is simply irresistible. Those same concentrated black/red and dried fruit aromas on the nose, resonate throughout the palate with hints of red/ black liquorice and dark chocolate adding excitement… making it even more irresistible. The sweetness is balanced by the tannic core running the length of the palate, 100% engaging and satisfying, superb drinking now and will cellar for 5-8 years+. Perfect with roasted meats, pasta or hard cheese… even a platter of dried fruits and roasted nuts. For optimal drinking pleasure the recommended serving temperature is 16-18 degrees.
